Joseph,

  first of all, this is totally off topic and should be on the web-dev list.

  secondly, to control the size of an image, you need to use the <img>
tag, which does properly handle the width attribute.  So you need to
create a new HTML page that uses the IMG tag, and set those links to
point to it.
